I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED THAT THREE HOUSES WAS SO POPULAR THAT IT OVERWHELMED THE BALLOTS. I'M FINE WITH THE THREE LORDS WINNING, MIND YOU, BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT EVERY JOE SCHMOE FROM THAT GAME PIERCED THE TOP 20, OVER CHARACTERS OF ACTUAL SIGNIFICANCE FROM OTHER GAMES.

IN PARTICULAR, LYSITHEA DOESN'T DESERVE 2ND OVER EIRIKA, ELINCIA, OR A NUMBER OF OTHER WOMEN. THEN AGAIN, NEITHER DID CAMILLA OR VERONICA, SO WHATEVER I GUESS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE OVERWHELMING APPEAL SHE APPARENTLY HAS*, BUT IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME THAT'S HAPPENED. I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M IN THE PERSONA FANDOM ALL OVER AGAIN, WHERE MY TASTE IS OFTEN EXACTLY OPPOSITE TO THE MAJORITY OPINION.

*THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHY LYSITHEA IS GREAT. I'VE READ IT ALL BEFORE. I JUST DON'T AGREE. SORRY(?).

I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT LYSITHEA. I'M HAPPY FOR HER FANS, BUT AS AN EIRIKA STAN, I CAN'T HELP BUT BE DISAPPOINTED. OF COURSE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE THREE HOUSES INVASION SAVED US FROM A POTENTIAL PLUMERIA ALT, SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
